Electric Motor Recycling Machine

The scrap electric motor recycling machine is primarily designed to separate the copper wire and silicon steel sheets from scrap motors, facilitating their subsequent recycling. This equipment utilises hydraulic principles and offers the advantages of high efficiency, ease of use and a high recovery rate.

In industrial production and everyday life, electric motors, as a key type of power equipment, are widely used across various sectors. With the continuous evolution of technology, the generation of large quantities of end-of-life electric motors has become a significant issue. If these motors are simply discarded or dismantled in a haphazard manner, it will not only result in the waste of valuable resources such as metals and rare earth elements, but may also lead to environmental pollution. However, if end-of-life electric motors are properly managed, their value can be realised through innovative recycling and reuse. Consequently, end-of-life electric motor recycling machines can efficiently recycle and reuse these motors, allowing them to truly ‘be given a new lease of life’.



The complete production line comprises a range of recycling and dismantling equipment, including stator dismantling machines, shredders, integrated dismantling units and motor coil dismantling machines. It is suitable for a wide variety of materials, such as three-phase induction motors, single-phase motors, variable-frequency motors, gear motors, water pump motors, hoist motors, servo motors, high-voltage motors and explosion-proof motors.




The motor recycling machine is compatible with brushless motors, brushed motors, permanent magnet motors, DC motors and AC motors; single-phase motors and three-phase motors; AC commutators; induction motors; reluctance motors; synchronous motors; stepper motors and servo motors, etc.

The following is a list of common dismantling equipment used in a complete set of scrap motor recycling machinery:

Copper cutting machine

Primarily used to cut the copper wires at one end of the stator. It utilises a hydraulic system to cut the copper wires quickly and precisely, preparing them for subsequent dismantling work.

Copper-pulling machine

This machine must be used in conjunction with the copper-cutting machine. It pulls the severed copper wires out from the other end of the stator. It also utilises hydraulic principles to extract the copper wires quickly and efficiently.

Stator dismantling machine

Specifically designed to dismantle the copper wires and silicon steel laminations within the motor stator. It replaces manual dismantling, improving dismantling efficiency whilst ensuring the quality of the dismantling process.

Rotor Shredder

Primarily used to shred motor rotors. It can also process various types of rotors, such as those from air conditioners and washing machines. The shredder operates on the principle of dual-shaft, low-speed shearing. It drives two rollers, each fitted with staggered blades, independently. The two rollers rotate in opposite directions; when large scrap motor housings are fed into the inlet, they are forcibly shredded by immense shearing and tearing forces. The shredded rotor material can then be further recycled.

Integrated Automatic Dismantling Equipment

This unit integrates multiple functions, including copper shearing, copper extraction and cutting. It enables the fully automatic dismantling of waste electric motors. The equipment offers advantages such as high efficiency, stability and convenience. It is suitable for the large-scale recycling and processing of waste electric motors.

Motor Coil Dismantling Machine

A specialised machine designed for dismantling motor coils. It can quickly and efficiently separate the copper wire from motor coils. It is suitable for dismantling motor coils from a wide range of electrical appliances.

• High-efficiency production: Mechanised dismantling is significantly faster than manual processing. A traditional worker can dismantle only 1–2 large electric motors per day. Specialised equipment enables continuous operation, boosting production efficiency several-fold. This substantially shortens the motor recycling and processing cycle.
• Precise separation: Through a combination of physical dismantling and crushing, along with various sorting equipment, the process efficiently separates‌ copper windings‌,‌ aluminium casings/rotors‌, silicon steel laminations and cast iron. Metal recovery rates exceed 96 per cent, maximising the recovery of residual materials.
• Reduced Dismantling Costs: The motor recycling machine requires only one operator, replacing several skilled technicians. This saves approximately 40 per cent in labour and time costs. It also minimises metal contamination losses caused by manual dismantling, thereby increasing the selling price of valuable materials.
• High adaptability: The equipment typically features a wide range of adjustment capabilities. It is compatible with dismantling requirements for motors of different power ratings and models. It is equipped with overload protection, ensuring stable and durable operation.
• Safe and environmentally friendly: The use of enclosed or low-noise designs effectively suppresses dust and noise pollution. It eliminates the risk of sparks generated by manual cutting and the potential hazards of insulating oil leaks.
